“My name is Geng He and I am the wife of political prisoner and lawyer Gao Zhisheng, who is currently being persecuted in mainland China. On March 11 this year, I arrived in the United States with my son and daughter for political asylum. … We are safe now, but my husband’s situation has become more perilous…

I know that he would still harbor this light and hope in his heart while enduring various torments in prison!”
